The Kingdom of God is a central focus, a goal for which we strive, and it belongs entirely to God. He is its owner, creator, and ruler, possessing absolute sovereignty over it. He can admit or bar anyone as He chooses, with no one standing between Him and His Kingdom. Inheriting the Kingdom of God, however, is not yet a reality for us as flesh and blood beings. We cannot inherit it in our current state, for corruption and mortality stand as barriers to such an inheritance. Yet, God already considers us citizens of His Kingdom in spirit. He has translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love, marking a legal designation of our citizenship, loyalties, and responsibilities from this world to the Kingdom of Heaven. Though we remain corruptible and live in this world, we belong to Him, answering to His authority alone. We are ambassadors for Christ, representing His Kingdom now, even as we await full inheritance. This transference differs from inheritance. While we are spiritually part of the Kingdom, hidden in Christ and covered by His righteousness, we have not yet attained the glorified state required for full inheritance. Our life is hidden with Christ in God, and through His mediation, God sees His Son in us, granting us access and grace despite our corruption. We are in a training period, malleable clay being shaped by God, who understands our frame and offers us time to grow, overcome, and repent. As trial members of His Kingdom, we bear a great responsibility to live by His rules, representing Him in this world. God has given us a taste of the Kingdom through His church, a spiritual type that falls short of the future fullness. We have tasted the heavenly gifts and the powers of the age to come, yet we must remain faithful, for turning away could revoke our citizenship. The final inheritance of the Kingdom of God awaits Christ's return, when He will establish it fully on earth, and we, if faithful, will reign with Him in glory.

God the Father is immensely excited to share what He has with us, just as we find joy in sharing our lives with others. We, as the first fruits of God's calling, are set apart to become children of God, to be part of the God Family, and to inherit the Kingdom of God. This calling is a profound opportunity, for we are heirs with Christ, destined to inherit everything He possesses. As joint heirs, we will share in the glory to come with Him, transformed from flesh to spirit, conforming to His image. Our inheritance is not merely a legal or social standing but a total legitimacy, entitling us to the rights and obligations of God's Family, including carrying on the Family name. God's Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are His adopted children, and He is determined to see us perfected and glorified. We have been delivered from the power of darkness and the grief of this world's ways, with Jesus Christ holding all power to help us stand and succeed. He is the beginning of the Family line of God, the firstborn from the dead, and we are to follow in that line. Our future in the Kingdom of God involves a resurrection, a change into spirit beings, as promised by God. This transformation will occur with the sounding of the trumpet, when the dead will rise first, and those who remain will be changed. Our citizenship is in heaven, and we must focus on this destiny, understanding that we belong to the living God. In the Kingdom, we will awake in the likeness of God, seeing Him as He is, and we must prepare now by learning and growing, putting into practice what we have been taught. We are called to be kings and priests, nurturing those who come out of the tribulation, healing the earth and God's people, and teaching them how to live. Starting small, we will grow in our roles, eventually preparing for the Great White Throne Judgment, guiding countless others. Our inheritance extends to the vast universe, a future far beyond our current comprehension, filled with purpose and responsibility. Even amidst trials, we look to the Kingdom of God as our focus, knowing that we will be spirit beings and that God watches over us in every aspect of our lives. He has given us the guarantee of His Holy Spirit as a down payment of our inheritance, ensuring that we will be redeemed and changed. The crown of life awaits us, a victor's crown symbolizing triumph and distinguished service, woven of imperishable glory. A special entrance, a victor's gate, will be opened for us at the throne of God, surrounded by angels and spirit beings, where we will be greeted with the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." God the Father is thrilled to see us reach this moment, having planned far greater things for us than we can imagine.

God's promise to inherit His Kingdom stands alongside His firm admonitions to overcome sin and endure to the end, lest we fall short. Failing to repent of unrighteous actions can prevent us from having a part in the Kingdom of God. Certain kinds of people, marked by disqualifying sins as listed by the apostle Paul, will not inherit God's Kingdom and will be cut out of the promise. Nothing—not death, life, angels, principalities, powers, height, depth, nor any other creature—can prevent the coming of Jesus Christ, the resurrections, the Millennium, the Kingdom of God, and God the Father. Yet, our own actions hold the power to exclude us from this inheritance if we do not remain faithful. The river of time and world events flows relentlessly toward the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom, an unstoppable tide that no force, not even satan or false doctrines, can hinder. Jesus Christ is coming, bringing His Kingdom with Him.
